The Comets maintained a comfortable 10-point advantage at the half, then cranked up the defense during a 25-10 surge in the third period en route to a 62-49 victory.

Andrew Norum led a balanced scoring attack with 16 points, while Colin Schoonover added 14 for the Comets, who improved to 4-5 in non-conference play. Mark Metzler led all scorers with 20 points for Brookings-Harbor. BROOKINGS (49) — M. Metzler 20, Boye 14, Johnson 6, Eslinger 5, Whirry 4, Alexander 0, J. Metzler 0. Totals: 19 6-13 49.
